NEDO and the Slovenian Public Agency for Entrepreneurship, Innovation, Development, Investment and Tourism (SPIRIT) have agreed to carry out a feasibility study (FS) for a Smart Community Demonstration Project in Slovenia, and on May 15, NEDO Executive Director Hiroshi Kuniyoshi signed a Letter of Agreement (LOI) with Mr. Tomaž Klemenc, Acting Director of SPIRIT.

As a member of the EU, it is expected going forward that Slovenia will see large-scale adoption of renewable energy and growing needs for efficient use of energy. By demonstrating Japanese smart community related technology, this project will contribute to energy policy in Slovenia and the surrounding region.
